A Little Dose of Our Autumn

The trees are changing...beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange...

Penny is a happy gal...and she will have a couple more sisters in a couple weeks! I had been wrong before, instead of pygmy goats, I am getting Nigerian Dwarf goats (similar to pygmy goats). My parents purchased me one for my birthday and I am earning the money to buy the other! I just *couldn't* choose between the two. I mean, look at them....just too sweet!

Soon Pearl and Polly will join our Penny!

Our chickens are doing well...the poor girls won't be thrilled when winter arrives though. It will be their first experience with snow and being *in* the coop a lot. I haven't told them about the snow, yet, though...why burst their blissful bubble too soon? ;)

Thank you for all the get-well wishes...I am not 100% yet but doing *much* better! I have gotten busy again with schooling with the children, cleaning, baking and knitting. Here is my newest custom knitting creation a lady ordered from me...

Right now, as I type, it looks like it is raining fall leaves outside our windows! The wind is blowing and leaves are falling all over! The children exclaimed how pretty it was...and it really is beautiful to watch.

For some reason, I have a small headache. Thankfully, we got most of our schooling done this morning...after lunch and a little rest, I hope the headache will be gone so I can get busy with housework before supper needs prepared. Supper will probably be country style spare ribs (slow-cooked in the oven) with mashed potatoes and a veggie! :) I hope you are enjoying your autumn days!

I'm glad you are feeling better:) Autumn is our favorite time of the year...I took our kids on a picnic lunch today at the park because it was so pretty out;)It was a nice break from the day to day of Homeschooling:) Love the pic's of the goats....so jealous..lol...we don't live far enough out of town for animals:(

Ahhhh, I love babies...and these are no exception! I have always wanted this life back, but having to move back to our hometown, it can't be. Don't wait too long to tell the girls about the cold. Hope they have the feathers to keep them warmer! LOL! I do love your life, family and you dear Katy! Hope the headache ease soon. Hugs!

Katy so pleased to here you arefeeling better (will continue topray for strength) Love the newlittle bonnet it's adorable ...and the Goats so sweet.. We had goats several years ago.. they areso cute... Sure wonderful blessed life theLord has given you and your family

The hat is so pretty. I love autumn and can't wait for the leaves to start changing here. I'm glad you are feeling better and will pray for you to get back to 100%. Your goats are precious. Have a wonderful weekend.

The ribbons are long so the lady that ordered the hat can adjust the ribbon to the perfect size for her daughter and then have room to trim the ends. I think it's better that than them being too short! :)

"I have no faith in that woman who talks of grace and glory abroad, and uses no soap and water at home. Let the buttons be on the shirts, let the children's socks be mended, let the roast mutton be done to a turn, let the house be as neat as a new pin, and the home be as happy as home can be."
